Announcing the 3YØJ DXpedition to Bouvet Island

his month, I will be turning over the keyboard to Paul Ewing, N6PSE, who, on the behalf of The Intrepid DX Group, has announced a DXpedition to Bouvet Island for early 2023. As many of you already know, two recent attempts to activate Bouvet were unsuccessful. Doing a successful Bouvet DXpedition requires three things. One is to plan and collect funds for a big enough activity that will give out plenty of QSOs for the deserving, so a full-time activation will require a full team of experienced and physically capable operators, as well as an enormous amount of advance funding. Two is actually getting there. Three is actually getting on the island and operating in a very difficult environment. To this end, Paul has teamed up with Ken Opskar, LA7GIA, to activate Bouvet in the January 2023 timeframe. I encourage all of you to consider donating to this project. Full information can be found at <> and <>. Now, turning over the keyboard to Paul, N6PSE. – N2OO
